Computer-Vision based solution to track crowds

PYTHONOPENCVIOT Prototyped the usage of a Raspberry Pi and a ceiling-mounted camera to track the movement of individual people in a crowd, to derive useful metrics such crowd size, movement and dwell time. This data, along with ambient noise information was then transferred via MQTT and made available via a Telegram bot meant for potential visitors to the area being monitored. This would allow them to better understand conditions there before attending the event.GITHUBRED HAT
